This book envisages new estimates of the public health importance of iron and zinc deficiency prevailing in Pakistani population, and put glimpses on different diseases caused by these micronutrients in children and particularly women. This book put more emphasizes on strategies and solutions for combating these deficiencies in Pakistani people. These micronutrients when taken individually or in combination may prevent several deadly ailments. More work is required to estimate the levels of these two minerals in masses in Pakistan. Their individual role in disease prevention with functional evidences through clinical trials is need of the day in under developed areas. Such data in large population may be used later on for developing supplementation strategies on national level. Issues such as zinc supplementation alone, in combination with iron or with other micronutrients should be better addressed. Researchers are exploring effect of combined supplementation and its effect on zinc status, but the data are not clear regarding morbidity outcomes. Combined supplementation of iron and zinc may provide an efficient way to combat deficiency symptoms of both minerals.
The book contains the details regarding the research project entitled "Nutritional and Chemical Evaluation of Cookies Supplemented with Gram (Cicer arietinum L.) Flour." The project was designed to overcome the protein deficiency in the vulnerable groups of society by utilizing the benefits of Gram Flour in the shape of cookies. The resultant gram flour supplemented cookies were high in proteins and other essential nutrients & minerals. Biological assay of supplemented cookies on rats showed significantly higher values of BV, PER, NPU & other biological parameters than un-supplemented cookies. The book also describes the need of protein enriched diet and will give the overview of previous efforts of different researchers in preparing protein- enriched diets.
